'The Monk was so highly popular that it seemed to create an epoch in our literature', wrote Sir Walter Scott. Set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid, The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads its main character, the monk Ambrosio, to temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Inspired by German horror romanticism and the work of Ann Radcliffe, Lewis produced his masterpiece at the age of nineteen. It contains many typical Gothic elements - seduction in a monastery, lustful monks, evil Abbesses, bandits and beautiful heroines. But, as the Introduction to this new edition shows, Lewis also played with convention, ranging from gruesome realism to social comedy, and even parodied the genre in which he was writing.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

讀後感
会有点疑惑，哥特式小说的荒诞、恐怖放在今天的大环境下，是不是有点过时和不与时俱进？ 剧情的发展很简单，总是一个人、一个时间点就能触发情节的发展。人都不可能是完美的，总有这样那些缺点，如果我老是抱着完美的态度对待，那不是自己给自己找不痛快么？但...
評分哥特式的小说。慕名而读，但基本是翻阅的，结论：消遣读物，不是经典。 发现的精彩是，此书居然是雨果《巴黎圣母院》的雏形。在译者的前言中也证实，雨果确实是基于此书创作的《巴》。深刻的感受到作者马修.刘易斯，那个19岁的少年，试图打破常规的叛逆和压抑。然而，他又是多...

評分故事好像是在说信奉主的人时时刻刻也被魔鬼盯着 一个引诱一切能引诱的，一个救赎一切能被救赎的 能被救赎的从一开始就不会被引诱 而能被引诱的从一开始就毫无希望 所以说活着 要么毫无信仰 要么毫无希望
評分其实在古希腊史诗这种古老的文学中，是很少谈到“爱”的，对于比较原始的人民来说，喜欢某人就去抢掠，属于理所当然。说得更多的“爱”反而是同性之间的。爱要隐忍，要坚定，不能过于急切地屈从于欲望，要为爱人付出所有，爱也会产生各种求而不得的烦恼，对烦恼同样需要坚忍......

格調低 像童話 又沒有教育意義 語言勉強能看
评分兩條情節綫脫離稍嚴重，人物過多有點讓人混亂。不過語言流暢自然，一口氣讀下去不帶喘，還算過癮啦。
评分現在看來這本起碼可讀性強多瞭，盡管書中情節如今都被用爛瞭，但在當時應該還好
